Myrtle Burl

Trade Name :
Myrtle Burl, Pepperwood, Laurel

Origin :
North America

Uses :
High quality architectural woodwork, also used for furniture.

Properties :
Since the Myrtle develops a dark heart, differentiation has to be made between those veneers without heart, which are yellowish in color, and those having a dark brown heart. This is why Myrtle Burl is also frequently stained to enable both forms to be used. The aromatic odour of the wood is most apparent.

Jointing :
Glue joints hold well. Screw joints hold firmly but should be pre-drilled.
